Im sure other detailers have ran into this one before. Your talking to someone and some where along the way they ask what you do for a job, and you reply oh, i detail cars. So they go oh, okay, your a car washer. You try to explain that detailing is really a highly skilled job and that there is...

Usually when dealing with a compound like PG i have always had to do a 3 step polishing. An example would be using PG followed by IP then by Nano, to get the paint perfect with max gloss. Since i havent used PG yet i was wondering could i jump straight to 106?(when using a DA not rotary) my past...

When i was using my flex for the first time i noticed that the BP started to melt and shave off, soon there were black plastic shaving all over the car. I searched around on the forums and couldnt find anyone talking about this problem. If its already been covered i apologize.

Recently i was hired by Tesla Motors, (the leaders of high performance exotic sports cars) because they wanted me to get their cars in shape for some photo shoots. I took quite a few pics, too many to post, so im going to try to post as few as possible. I guess this is one small step closer to...

Right after I apply SSII or spray souv. the paint is slick and it beads well but it seems like the slickness and beading diminishes quickly. The car doesnt get exposed to extreme weather conditions. Why does the slickness and beading fade so quickly? And how long is Spray souv. suppose to last?

I have been thinking for a while about offering some cheaper packages for the non exotic cars I do. I have concluded that a AIO paint correcting and protectant product is the way to go. I want spome thing that is going to remove moderate swirls and leave behind protection. I have looked at opt...

I always here people talking about how shinny there car is after getting waxed. And how big a difference there is from one wax to another. I always though in the back of my mine "thats just silly, how can a wax make your paint look better" but every one believes that wax does indeed add depth...

I am concerned that all of the solvents used to get rock hard carnauba into a liquid will also dissolve the layers of wax that is already on the paint. I want to use it as a wax booster after every other wash or so but i am thinking that all of those solvents will just take off everything and...

Yesterday I did a gray Ferarri 360 spider. I got a chance to try out some products. Sorry I have no pics cause I was in a rush to leave the house and I forgot my camera:(. Mini initial reviews: SSII (Rating 9.0)- This was my second time trying this wax. So far I have only tested it on my...

Usually when I polish I work in the polish/compound for about 1min with a DA. Anything more than 1min feels like way to long. But I hear that a lot of people work polishes in for 2-5min. I actually use a stopwatch, so I know how long I am working my polishes in for. i am thinking maybe some...

I read the directions on the back but its not clear to me how to use it. I understand i need to spead it out in a thin layer but how long do i work it in? Do I wipe it off right away?:confused:

What do you guys think about taking a freashly waxed car out for a drive, is it bad? Do most of you guys wait 12hr for all of the solvent to outgass?

I was thinking the other day about these products that claim to leave a thin wax layer on you car as you wash. I got to thinking how would that work? How would the wax bond to the surface. wouldnt they trap dirt under the wax? Do they even work? Even if they do, surely they would not leave...

I have been shopping around for some high performance street & light track use brake pads that have a high initial bite, so that i can get a shorter stopping distance. I also need them to be able to stand up to a good amount of heat generated by braking on those mountian twisties going from...

I was searching the web about detailing and I ran across a site where it was talking about how high pressure water can cause scratches in the paint. Basically they were saying that if you hit you car with some high pressure water it will grind the dirt particals against the surface of the car...

I have been thinking of using a homemade glass cleaner instead of buying a glass cleaner. What is the point in spending 7 or 10$ a bottle is I can make my own right? Well I was thinking of using the old distiled white vinegar and distiled water trick. Then I was talking to someone about it and...
